You're at the age when new Cluster cases are uncommon and they may mimic other, often, more serious conditions.

Suggest you print out this file and give to the doc. Ask what he thinks.

Hi Linthead

Yes it does happen that some get CH late in life but it's still worth checking for anything more sinister before settling on CH.

I didn't get it till just before I turned 50 & then had a 5 year remission before it came back & I've been chronic since, now 62.

My thought is if it is supposed to get you early in life & go away as you get older then I am going to have to live till I am around 150 years old to prove the theory. Cheesy

Cheers
Barry

CH according to Bejeeber:

Strictly relying on doctors for CH treatment is often a prescription that will keep you in a whole lot of PAIN. Doctors are WAY behind in many respects, and they are usually completely unaware of the benefits of high flow 100% O2.

There are lots of effective treatments documented at this site. Take matters into your own hands, learn as much as you can here and at clusterbusters.com, put it into practice, then tell this CH beast Jeebs said hello right before you bash him so hard with a swift uppercut knockout punch that his stupid horns go flinging right off.
